Racism

If you decide to ignore me or treat me in a cruel way because my skin is lighter than yours you are a racist. It's not justification to say its because there is a shortage of black men and that gives you a right to be mean to me because I married one of them. I can't believe that reason is supposed to make cruelty and stupidity okay!
